The ROVER 25 (1999-04) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.8 IS STEPTRONIC AUTO is a five-door hatchback offering everyday practicality and a comfortable feel. It belongs to the small-family-car class alongside the Ford Focus, Vauxhall Astra and Volkswagen Golf, but has a distinctly Rover character with its own distinctly British identity for many buyers. The 1.8-litre petrol engine and StepTronic automatic suit drivers who prefer easy progress in town and on longer trips. Five doors and useful cabin space make it a sensible choice for couples, small families or commuters, while its automatic gearbox can appeal to drivers seeking a relaxed alternative to a manual hatchback. mycarcheck.com has recorded nine checks across seven distinct VINs, so the sample is small. Those checks show an average private-sale valuation of £400, 46,000 miles and about 1,000 miles driven annually, with roughly 2.4 previous keepers. These figures describe checked examples, not every Rover 25 on the road.
